This is the best summary I could come up with:
A Chinese reviewer has obtained a pre-production sample of Intel's Core i7-14700K processor, which belongs to the Raptor Lake Refresh family, and tested it in a number of performance benchmarks for his review at Bilibili (via @9550pro).
The processor, which got more cores and higher clocks, expectedly beat its predecessors, but what is even more noteworthy is that it can offer performance that is very close to that of the current flagship Core i9-13900K.
The new Core i7 'Raptor Lake' refresh not only got slightly higher boost clocks, but also more cores, which will positively affect its performance in multi-threaded workloads.
Indeed, the Core i7-14700K, which the reviewer calls 'Core i7-13700KS' to avoid problems with Intel, in CPU-Z multi-threaded benchmark by around 20% and in Cinebench R23 multi-threaded test by approximately 14%.
Due to higher clocks and increased number of cores, the upcoming processor also outperforms its predecessor in games.
As a result, performance difference between the most expensive Core i9 parts and moderately priced Core i7 CPUs will likely be negligible in most cases.
